Hi McNeill,
Welcome.
You can edit the printer start g-code, i.e., change the printer’s actions during the startup.
I cannot provide you with a solution, but a list of many from which you can find the one that fits your needs. There are some risks, which I believe to be minimal, but in all cases, the responsibility is on your side. Some advice:
do not blind trust in a solution; if it works or not is up to you;
As they are unofficial, it is normal for old ones not to work or have limitations. This can also happen to you with time, as newer versions of firmware are released, but usually, you can easily overcome with simple changes;
at the time of the first test, whether experienced or not, stay near the printer and look at every detail during the startup, as you can interrupt in case of any problem and understand where and why it failed.
Some threads where you can find custom start g-codes and users’ experiences (randomly ordered):
I love the printer, but I hate the long startup sequence. I dont want to use any unofficial start gcode.
Please try to improve the startup sequence time or atleast give us a second “quick print” option where it only does the absolute necessary steps in order to not damage anything.
If I print a small objects that takes 8 minutes I dont want to wait 7minutes.
If turning off bed leveling and flow calibration, it still takes a few minutes until it actually starts printing and its too long for my…

My customized start and end gcode for Bambu Lab printers. Usable for X1, X1C with or without AMS.
In addition to cleaning up the stock gcode from BL, I have added some of my changes. For more description, please visit the Printables link.
Do note that these are my codes that I use and it works for me on my X1CC. I have been using and updating them and decided to share them with the community. As with all the stuff …

Some of my PETG filament ooze more than others. And sometimes it ruins the first layer.
With the start g-code, it prints two purge lines. After purge line 1, the nozzle moves to the middle of purge line 1 and make a pause - it ooze. Then he moves to purge line 2 and leaves strings over the whole print bed.
How and where can I change the start g code, that this “pause” is not on purge line 1? he should do that at the start of line 2 and I would like to do a second nozzle wipe before line 2 star…
For larger/longer prints, the Bambu X1 offers some speed advantages, but for smaller prints, the startup procedures reduce this benefit. Do any of you disable some of the initial phases, like bed leveling or extruder calibration?
Hello,
I got a question regarding all the preparation things the X1C is doing before actually starting the print.
What I mean is:
Actually I’m printing much ASA/ABS with 260°C, with the textured PEI sheet, which is working quite good if using bed with ~105°C. When I start a print job, it’s doing many things, heating up nozzle and heatbed, doing homing, etc.
There are my questions starting:
It starts heating up the nozzle and heatbed at the same time. The nozzle is quite fast at 260°C, the…
Hi,
I wounder how can I force X1 Carbon to print only the part and nothing else.
I often want to print small parts one after the other with the same filament.
So I would like to force printer to only print the part and skip everything else.
initial purge after loading filament
this lines at the perimeter of the build plate.
How do I do that?
Cris.
Right now there’s no documentation from Bambu around what standard and non-standard G-code commands can be used on the X1 series of printers.
As for the standard commands, this Marlin cross reference is great but please note that Bambu doesn’t implement all of it, and some things that are implemented behave a bit different than stated there.
This will be a constantly evolving thread to document these until Bambu publishes some official documentation. Some things are certain, some things may be…
I’ve seen custom g-code scripts available on Printables which have new start and end code designed to cut down the time taken to start a print.
If you are wanting to modify the g-code yourself, it’s found in the printer model menu (above plate type) under the “machine g-code” heading.
